John Kerry also praised the Ohio State Buckeyes football team--during this visit to Michigan.
Last month, John Kerry lauded "Lambert Field" during a visit to Wisconsin. He has yet to acknowledge Lambeau Field, the historic home of the Green Bay Packers. (Look for a Football Fans For Truth billboard coming soon near Lambeau Field, educating Wisconsin football fans about Kerry.)
What makes the first half of this clip so great is that the coach called a sweep play that involves a pulling guard. For those of you out there that don't know what that means, the short version is that pulling a guard leaves the quarterback less protected on purpose.
This doesn't necessarily mean that the coach meant for Kerry to be tackled, after all the play involves the ball leaving the quarterback's hands relatively quickly when he flips it to a sweeping back. However, the hole that the pulled guard left open allowed for the enterprising young linebacker to easily scramble for the ball in the backfield after Kerry's flip flopped.
It's our guess that the coach merely has a sense of humor. If he were a Republican, he would have called a screen pass.
Hey, you know what? I'll give this one to him. The Tailback dropped the ball, Kerry actually did a pretty good job getting it off the ground and in his hands...now for the rest of it....vintage Kerry.
just be glad he didn't call us cheese heads too
In all fairness to Kerry (and I hate doing that), it seems the back didn't catch the ball when it was shoveled to him and Kerry covered the fumble like he should have. It actually looks like he did something right.
